Tips

This recipe makes a bitter-sweet chocolate sauce (similar to 85% dark chocolate). If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can increase the amount of erythritol up to as much as double if you have a very sweet palate.

Drizzle over freshly whipped cream and berries for a simple dessert. It’s also delicious drizzled over one of our ice cream recipes or our instant pot cheesecake.

This recipe yields a lot of chocolate syrup. If you need a smaller amount, you can reduce the recipe or you can freeze the sauce in smaller containers. To use after freezing, thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Before using, heat the sauce on reduced power in the microwave or by placing the container in warm water.
